Site work and new construction of a residential development in Campbell, California. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a residential development; and for site work for a residential development.

The Proposed Project subject to CEQA review under this RFP is described, below: Developer: Bay West Development Project Address: 635,655,675, and 695 Campbell Technology Parkway Project Description: 291 residential unit housing development project, consisting of 28 detached small-lot single-family homes and 263 townhomes, on a 17-acre property currently developed with a research and development facility (Campbell Technology Park). Note: This is a "Builder's Remedy" project submitted pursuant to an SB-330 pre-app that vested the project under the City's prior General Plan, which designated the subject property as Research and Development that would not have otherwise allowed residential use. As such, the CEQA analysis cannot rely on the EIR that was certified for the new City's recently adopted 2040 General Plan. Applicant Submitted Technical Documents (for consultant peer-review, if applicable): Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report Note: No RECs, controlled RECs (CRECs), historical RECs (HRECs), or OECs were identified. Hydrology Report Anticipated Technical Documents Required (for consultant preparation): Air Quality / Greenhouse Gas Report Acoustic Study Biological Resource Assessment Geotechnical Investigation Report Arborist Report Transportation Study, inclusive of a VMT analysis pursuant to the City's Vehicles-Mile-Travel (VMT) policy, review of consistency with transportation plans and General Plan policies, and traffic safety (e.g., sight distance, queuing, driveway spacing, pedestrian/vehicular conflicts, etc.) Note: The City is separately procuring a traffic impact analysis (TIA) pursuant to the VTA Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) Guidelines, as required under the City's Congestion Management Program (CMP) obligations. Since this analysis is focused on trip generation and level-of-service (LOS) impacts, it was separated from the CEQA review, but will be available for reference upon completion. Project Materials: Project Plans Project Description Scope of Services The following preliminary scope of work is presented as an initial outline to help the prospective consultants gauge the minimum level of work requested and to submit a realistic bid. If the consultant identifies opportunities to improve the required scope of work leading to improved outcome(s), the consultant is encouraged to submit proposals for alternative options.
